“His policies aside, which you can only hate, I thought he would have just relaxed… The maliciousness of this White House has people worried, which is why I’m not going to do it much longer, the impersonation… Trump just overwhelmingly lacks any kind of sportsmanship. He remains bitter and angry…”

Because being different means you make the difference, so f— ’em.”

–Doug Blevins, former Wilton Manors mayoral candidate, on Facebook
